Fresh from supporting fellow Wigan native Richard Ashcroft and
touring with both Cast and Shed Seven, the four-piece are coming
to Peterborough in May 2025. Having also already been on
the road with the likes of The Libertines, The Lathums, The
Sherlocks, Jamie Webster, The View and Inspiral Carpets, it’s
only a matter of time before the Stanleys are as well known
across the UK, as they are across Manchester and the North-West.

Stanleys
Emerging from Wigan, Stanleys are the next in a long line of illustrious musicians to come from the North Western town. Bands and artists ranging from George Formby Senior and Junior to The Verve, Starsailor to The Lathums are proud to call Wigan home, eventually taking their poignant songwriting across the rest of the country and Stanleys are set to follow in their footsteps. Perhaps there’s something about hearing a regional accent singing in full flow that’s endearing, or their jangly riffs and subtle drum beats reminiscent of other great North West bands such as The Smiths or The La’s. Some would argue the recognisable relatable stories told by front man Tom Concannon is the focal point of the band, with Jake Dorsman (guitar), Harry Ivory (bass) and Rob Hilton (drums and backing vocals) completing the line up. But ultimately, it is a combination of all these things that have seen Stanleys make their mark on the North West scene so quickly.
